Chapter 431 Destruction
Emperor Xuan of Yan went completely crazy.
Whether in the harem or the court, everyone is in danger.
"Your Highness, you have to increase the dosage of the aconite poison. The imperial physician will not tell the truth." Tu Mi whispered.
"Tu Mi, he will bring about his own destruction." Zhu Huaizhen shook his head and laughed.
After saying this, Zhu Huaizhen continued to recline on the beauty couch surrounded by black lacquer and gold-painted scrolls of poetry and paintings, waving a round fan with a mahogany handle embroidered with pomegranates, cats and butterflies, and moving it intermittently, as lazy as a Persian cat, while listening to "Peach Blossom Fan".
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
When the opera ended, an actor suddenly jumped out, took off his costumes quickly, and put on a righteous look.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Huaizhen asked slowly.
"Princess Ronghua, Jinling City is in turmoil because of a mad king, but you are here listening to an opera. You really don't understand the suffering of the people." The actor was tall and gentle in appearance, and looked like a scholar.
"Oh, the suffering of the people? Am I from Jinling? Or from Nanyan?" Zhu Huaizhen felt funny.
"We are all one family in the world, why differentiate between each other? You have enjoyed wealth and glory since you were born..." The reading actor was silenced by Lou Li in time.
"Zhen'er, listening to his chattering makes me want to kill someone." Lou Li said quietly.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen sighed.
She got off the beauty bed and looked carefully at the reading actor.
"I recognize you. You just joined the opera troupe today, right? A few days ago, it was Tu Mi's birthday, and I got up early to queue up for her to buy fresh meat patties. I just walked in front of you unconsciously, but you scolded me for not queuing. I explained, but you didn't listen, and even mocked me with that contemptuous tone. A person like you who is so stubborn is not qualified to talk about the suffering of the people. Then please go to Jinling City and experience it for yourself." Zhu Huaizhen said gritting his teeth.
She became furious when she thought of this little episode.
When had Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen ever been bullied?
After hearing this, Lou Li felt very distressed and quickly tried to calm Zhu Huaizhen down.
Then, Lou Li personally dealt with the reading actor, and incidentally, he also dealt with the troupe's owner. This troupe owner allowed all kinds of people in, and not torturing them was already a mercy.
However, Zhu Huaizhen never imagined that this scholarly actor would enter the palace by chance, become a eunuch, and become the new favorite of Emperor Xuan of Yan, and then create one rumor after another about Princess Ronghua.
Everyone said that Princess Ronghua was extravagant and that she would go to the theater and eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall every day.
Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.
Ahem, this is true.
Everyone said that Princess Ronghua had a violent temper. Not only did she cut in line to buy fresh meat pies, she also took revenge on the person who lectured her by ordering her lover to castrate the poor man.
"Your Highness, I think the castration he suffered is not enough, it can be deepened." Tu Mi said coldly.
"Tu Mi, it's okay. I have already vented my anger. Just wait for them to destroy themselves." Zhu Huaizhen smashed the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
